JERICHO CONQUEST

Joshua 6:2

And the LORD said unto Joshua, "See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and its king and the mighty men of valor."

 

THE LORD SPEAKS

 

The key word in this verse is the word "see".  Can you "see" beyond your problem? Can you "see" the path of redemption? Can you "see" the promise of GOD fulfilled in your sight?

 

The mighty men of Israel were looking at the walled city of Jericho and they saw that they couldn't take the city. BUT GOD said that He had given the city, its king and the mighty men into their hands; they only had to look beyond the problem and "see" the path to the fulfillment of the promise of GOD.

 

In our life, there are walled cities of trouble that hold our focus. What GOD is calling us to do, is to "see" beyond the problem, follow the path of redemption and expect GOD to fulfill His promises. In the case of Joshua and the city of Jericho, the promise had already been given, "I have given into thine hand Jericho..." The promise was fulfilled in the spirit; Joshua and the Children of Israel would bring about the fulfillment in the flesh. 

When JESUS called Peter to come to Him on the water, Peter could walk on water until he looked at the storm. Likewise, if our focus is on the problems, we will sink; "see" JESUS and we will walk on water. All the promises of GOD are "yeah and amen".
